Every programmer has experienced an intense sense of accomplishment when someone uses their program. The problem is that, until today, there was no easy way to share text and terminal-based programs.
The bar to sharing apps shouldn't be GUI as it remains really really hard.
- mindgam3 8y agoIt's really awesome. The first time I saw a web interface like this was on the Mr Robot website (www.whoismrrobot.com). Ironically, it looks like they've updated the site since then with a GUI. But originally it included a DOS-like terminal. It was such a fun page. Really good UX in the sense that it's playful and instantly recognizable with a nostalgic feel to anyone who's ever tried to hack software. I ended up creating my own JS-based console-based interface for a side project, not released yet. It's kind of genius that you guys have an even simpler way for people to launch these.
- amasad 8y agoThank you! On Mr. Robot we have a few references to it on the website including this very post. See the last video on the page, zoom in on the top-left corner ;)
